Esther Williams

I'm participating in a fabulous KAL (knit along) — my first ever. As it's Friday, here's my progress on Poor Miss Finch's Esther Williams hat.

As I was copying the pattern out from the page, as I'd forgotten to print it, I realized that some of the stitches sounded a little complicated. Once I'd begun knitting, however, I realized that it wasn't nearly as difficult as I had thought. It also knits up pretty quickly. I was surprised. But it's a beautiful pattern. Any of you knitters out there should consider it. It's a speedy pattern and, except for the edging, I should be able to get it finished over the weekend.


By the by, for all you Luther-ites, I'll be up there today for the late Juletide show with my parents.
